Down / Re: St Matthew's Church, Broomhedge.

Treefan,
No joy I'm afraid, I couldn't find the Palmer's in Broomhedge. It's a very small graveyard with only about 40 "oldish" graves in it but there are quite a lot with no headstone at all, which isn't surprising for a country church. There's also a chance they were buried in Blaris, they lived in Maze, which isn't that far away. What do you think?

Treefan,
I'll give it a go if you like. The church is not far off the main road that I'm down all the time so it's easy to get at. All being well, touch wood, I should be able to get it by the weekend.

Antrim / Re: Worlds Oldest Mason

Rob, I think the place you mention is Magheramesk which is the civil parish, it's possibly a townland as well, and the Mcgibbery that Trish mentions could be Maghaberry, which is a townland in that parish. You should be able to find it a couple of miles north east of Moira, in county Antrim, on a map. Maghaberry would be more famous these days for the prison.

Armagh / Re: Cornakinnegar

Cornakinnegar is just outside lurgan on the road to Aghagallon,B12. When you go over the railway line crossing,from Lurgan, and go a couple of hundred yards down the road then that would be the start of the townland. The most northern part would come up short of when the road crosses the M1.

Liscorran would be in the middle of the townland and should be on your OS map.

Ger, you aren't the first one to have this happen to them, have a look at this thread;
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,246509.15.html
you'll also notice that the IFHF have made a post at the end in an attempt to "clarify" some points raised in that thread. It was posted over a year ago but it might be of interest. If nothing else the post by them shows that someone at the IFHF is aware of Rootschat and perhaps they MIGHT take heed of the comments made on this thread and "catch themselves on". We live in hope anyway ;)

and while I'm here...A Happy and Peaceful Christmas to all :)

The Common Room / Re: From Flanders to The Somme...Your photographs.
« on: Saturday 05 December 09 11:42 GMT (UK)  »
I just thought I would pop back and mention that I've started to look into the other men that are on the panel with Bernard. Some of these men must have been friends so I think it's important, to me anyway, to try and find out something about their lifes and deaths. I'm going to be on the Australian War Memorial site a lot methinks!!!
I wouldn't have been able to do this without your photo so thanks again Jen :) and I'm really looking forward to hearing about the rest of your journey!

I have only just found this thread and it is totally,totally amazing!

My great uncle Bernard was a stretcher bearer and was shot while carrying a stretcher. I've often wondered about the amount of courage it must have took to walk out into no mans land,unarmed,not knowing what was waiting there for you and the answer is of course that Bernard and all these men possessed the most amazing courage.

A thank you doesn't seem enough to say to you Jen but that is all I can say so "thank you"! But you can have some of these because you deserve them; :-* :-* :-*
